DETACHABLE COOKING UTEIN'SIL HANDLE Original 110. msaoos, dated October 15, 1929, Serial No. 803,795, filed September 4.192s. useu reissue filed July 21, 1930. Serial No. -1;69, 570.

dle, ca able of rigid attachment to a utensil at di erent an les, to facilitate its use in either restricte or unconfined spaces, and

10 to permit a change of leverage in raising the utensil by the handle.

which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts substantially as hereinafter described and more particularly defined by the appended claims, it being understood that such changes in the precise embodiment of the herein disclosed invention may be made as come within the scope of the claims.

In the accompanying drawings is illustrated one com lete example of the physical embodiment of the present invention constructed according to the best mode so far devised for the practical application of the ation is insertedinto the vertical aperture 6 principles thereof.

Figure 1 is a plan view of a nest of utensils constructed in accordance with the present invention.

Figure 2 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 22 of Figure 1, with the handle shown in substantially vertical position, and Figure 3 is a fragmentary detail with parts in section, illustrating the handle in substantially horizontal position.

Referring now more particularly to the acoompan ing drawings, the novel structure of hand e, comprisin the essence of the present invention is il ustrated in connection with a plurahty of nested cooking utensils 4, but it is to be understood that the specific structure of vessel forms no part of the present invention, inasmuch as the handle may 4 be employed with various types and sizes of vessels.

Secured to the outer side wall of each of the vessels 4 is a socket member 5, provided with a conical, vertical aperture 6 extending en- 0 tirely through the socket member and taperblock 10, as best illustrated in Fi ure- 2..

'nal axis of the handle. {karried by each of ing outwardly towards the bottom of the same. Connecting the aperture with the front side of the socket member is a vertical slot 7 to receive the handle in a manner to be illustration, the showing in the drawing comprises a grip portion 8, preferably made of a non-conductive material to avoid excessive heating and burning of the hands. With the above and other objects in view,

forms no specific part of the present invention, other than in the combination hereinafter claimed. A bolt 11 serves'to lock the gr1p'8, insulating member 9, and attaching The attaching block is provi ed with a pair of webs 12 extending at approximately right angles to one another,one of said webs being substantially parallel to the longitudithe webs 12 is a conical lug 13, which in operformed in the socket member 5. The slot 7 con'nectin the aperture 6 with the front face of the soc et member, receives the webs 12 to ]prevent turning of the handle in the soc et. From the foregoing it will be readily seen that the handle'may be assembled in the socket member either in a substantially ver-' tical position, as shown in Figure 2, or a horizontal position, as'shown in Figure 3, depending upon the lug inserted intothe socket member. 4 r As set forth in theobjects of the inven tion, Where the utensils are placed in a confined position, the handle is vertically attached to the utensil, whereas in other instances, the handle may be attached in the usual horizontal manner. 7 The advantages of the present invention will be apparent, inasmuch as the detachable handle voids burning or excessive heating of the same from the flame over which the utensil may be placed. Varying the angle of attachment of the handle permits its use in confined or unconfined spaces, and at the same time permits a maximum or minimum lever 7 age to be obtained in lifting the vessel by the be eppgeciated that the attaching 51 may" be constructed at practically no additional cost over the conventional ,types ofhandlzs, and that the same may be 10 secured to various types of conventionll' grips now in use.
